Medical
Went for the so called medical this morning way way out, good job someone took me, anyway I reckon there were at least 300 there I was no 247 and arrived at 9.00am, talk about pulling rank, the guy who took me dressed in one of those white gowns with a table cloth on his head, pushed his way to the front of the queue, handed the paperwork over and got no 247, he disappeared into the office then 10 minutes later blood was taken, was told to make an appointment to come back for xray, off he went back into the office and 5 minutes later shirt off (and not a pretty site) and xray taken, back in the car all done in less than 45 mins. Could not believe it.

Re: Medical
In fact the gentleman concerned was a lovely fellow, and could not have been more helpful, so yes an intended attempt at northern humour that should have been better thought out.
